The role of social drinking motives in the relationship between social norms and alcohol consumption

The influence of groups and alcohol consumption on individual risk-taking

“…Here, those in the SU bar believed peers to approve of more risky alcohol consequences, compared to those tested in the communal hub. Furthermore, these perceived injunctive norms were positively associated with experienced alcohol consequences, supporting similar research finding alcohol-related perceived injunctive or descriptive norms to correlate with one's own alcohol use behaviour (Goode et al, 2014;Halim et al, 2012;LaBrie, Hummer, Huchting, & Neighbors, 2009). The current findings therefore offer two potentially important insights for interventions in this area.…”

“…For example, "my friends think it's fine to go out drinking more than once a week" (Rimal & Real, 2003). Individuals appear to generally overestimate the quantity and frequency of their peers' drinking behaviour (Borsari & Carey, 2001;Carcioppolo & Jensen, 2012;Halim, Hasking, & Allen, 2012), as well as peer approval of drinking and risk-taking (Iwamoto, Cheng, Lee, Takamatsu, & Gordon, 2011;Kenney, LaBrie, & Lac, 2013), which in turn influences behaviour 6 . Individual observations about their peers' behaviour once intoxicated, and perceived peer approval of alcohol-induced risk-taking, would therefore seem a worthy consideration in the alcohol and risk-taking literature.…”

“…Peers and social contexts have further been postulated to influence alcoholrelated behaviour via perceived drinking norms (Borsari & Carey, 2001;Halim et al, 2012). Here, it is suggested that individuals tend to overestimate the quantity and frequency of their fellow peers' alcohol consumption (descriptive norms) (Borsari & Carey, 2001;Carcioppolo & Jensen, 2012;Halim et al, 2012), as well as their approval of alcohol consumption and risk drinking practices (injunctive norms) (Iwamoto et al, 2011;Kenney et al, 2013).…”

These normative (mis) perceptions, in turn, have been found to correlate with one's own alcohol use (Borsari & Carey, 2001) and intoxicated behaviours (e.g., drink driving; Kenney et al, 2013), as it is believed that people alter their behaviour to meet the perceived norm.…”
